Here's an interesting one. I don't use my PAYG mobile that often (in fact I hate the bloody things as a scourge of modern society). Was away on a course at the beginning of last week so charged it up at which point I received a text from Vodaphone asking if I was still using the service. I didn't reply as I knew I was going to be using the phone (thus confirming the line still in use) and had purchased a top-up.

Now here's the thing. Day 2 of the course I checked my calling credit and it had not gone down, despite using about 15 mins worth the day before. Used it several times that day and the balance still showed 3 mins and £xx.xx the same as first thing in the morning.

Anyone else encountered this? Is there some offer on useage at the moment or has my account gone into a kind of limbo where the line is still available but not being charged (and will they eventually disconnect it)?
 
A number of PAYT customers who dont use their phones often were given 100 free minutes in a promotion to try and get them into the habit of using their phones more often and topping up again
 
yep my dad's phone had similar, it still showed credit (it hadn't been used for a fair while) but it wasn't available for use. Vodafone have a limit on how long the credit lasts for supposedly.

I'm on contract so it doesn't really affect me so I can't say much more about it.
